Oklahoma City and Indiana lead the NBA Playoffs in transition PPG by a significant margin…
IND: 25.8 Transition PPG—1.32 PPP
OKC: 25.3—1.19
More than ever, creating easy offense in transition is what separates good from great at the highest levels of hoops.
If Louisville can get by the 2nd best team in the Big East they’ll have a chance to take on the number one overall seed to make it to the second weekend.
No one outside of the committee would’ve objectively put Louisville in that position.
Best 8 vs 9 game:
What did Louisville do to the committee to receive an 8 seed? Low for a team that has a strong resume. ACC conference hurt them. @LouisvilleMBB
On top of that, they got (9) Creighton! @BluejayMBB#MarchMadness
There are a billion mock brackets on https://t.co/BsZEWaz2cT. A grand total of two projected Louisville to be an 8-seed. Twice as many projected them to be a 4-seed.
Still blown away.
